Hi,

The problem document referred to in my earlier email can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8bUb5ZVQs7iNUthMGs4Ry0xSnM
Like LibreOffice, Google Docs also cannot view it, though a link is 
provided to the original file, at the end of the line starting:
     "You can also try to download the original document by clicking"
(Here's a tinyurl to the doc too: http://tinyurl.com/btmkr2z  ; it's 
called Test+Export+to+Word.doc btw.)

Many thanks,
Paul

Hi,

I am trying out Atlassian Confluence, which allows the pages it 
manages to be exported in Word format (.doc). If I load such a file in 
Word, it works, but LibreOffice will instead first provide a "ASCII 
Filter Options" popup, and then opens the document as if it were a raw 
ASCII text file. Here is the start of the file (the entire file is 
attached):

The contents start as:

Message-ID: <2145210638.3.1342621542525.JavaMail.root@xxxx.xxxx.com>
Subject: Exported From Confluence
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
      boundary="----=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514"

------=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514
...

It reminds me of an email. Does anyone know whatkind of file this is? 
Can it be opened as a Word doc. in LibreOffice?

...
You forgot to show that it is an html document:
Message-ID: <2145210638.3.1342621542525.JavaMail.root@xxxx.xxxx.com>
Subject: Exported From Confluence
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
        boundary="----=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514"

------=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 <====
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Location: file:///C:/exported.html <====

 <html>
    <head>

Actually it's an mht document. When open with Word: File|Save As|Save as
type: Word Document (*.doc). Now you can open in LO with all formating,
table boxes, etc.

LibreOffice doesn't have a filter for mht (mhtml - mime html) files, nor
IMO should it. It's not intended to be a 'document' format/protocol.

Why does it open so well in Word? Don't know, but I suspect it may have
something to do with one of the co-author's (company) of RFC2557...
I also wouldn't recommend using it. (that's a full stop, period)
